Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s already Thursday again. It really sneaks up on me when we have a Monday holiday! How about you?
Let’s jump right into this week’s inspirations, shall we?
This charming illustration is by Garance Doré, and can be found on her blog. What a brilliant use of color. Doré is French, but her site has an English version (lucky us!). Her blog features her gorgeous illustrations and photography with a clear focus on fashion.
cassette tape soap by stinkybomb
Take a (very clean) trip back to the 80s with these awesome cassette tape soaps, which are available in Stinkybomb’s Etsy shop! I think the neon colors really add to the retro vibe, don’t you? According to the listing, the soap is made from the mold of an actual cassette tape. Gotta love the authenticity!
cotton elephants from Townhouse
Awww. I want one! These lovable elephants are “handsewn in Switzerland by mentally handicapped people…[and] support their rehabilitation.” The Townhouse e-shop ships worldwide, so I’ll be expecting one of these little guys come the holiday season (just kidding!).
As you may know, I adore Ingrid Michaelson. I’m including this video because my sister and I are going to see her live this Saturday at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. I’m super excited, and of course I’ve been listening to her new album on repeat in preparation. It’s no surprise that I’m a fan of “Maybe,” and I especially like the part that goes
I still feel you on the right side of the bed
And I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head
But I’m gonna wash away, oh I’m gonna wash away everything til you come home to me
If you find yourself falling in love with her music the way I have, you may want to check her out on twitter.
Comments are open for you to share your thoughts and tell me about your recent inspirations.
If you’ve been keeping up with the blog, you know that I’ve officially added all of my newest designs to my blog, collections, and Etsy shop. I’m very excited about the new designs, and I hope you are too! Let me know what you think and what you’d like to see.
Lost In Thoughts will be back next week!

The soap cassette tapes are so cool. And I agree, the neon colors are a plus. Fun post!
So glad you enjoyed it.
